X-Men

Also known as: N/A

Developer: Western Technologies, Inc.

I was so happy when I first played X-Men and saw that Nightcrawler (quite possibly my favorite X-Man growing up) was a playable character. Sure, Cyclops had laser beams, Wolverine had big claws, and Gambit had exploding cards...But Nightcrawler could turn himself into a fart cloud to damage enemies. How cool is that? Aside from the playable characters, you could also summon various allies to come and help you out in a pinch, so there are plenty of characters represented here for fans of the comic books. The story of this game is kinda goofy - you're in the X-Men training room, but a virus was installed to create actual dangerous situations instead of virtual dangerous situations…and, of course, Magneto is behind it all. But anyway, X-Men is a decent action game that I put plenty of time into when I was a young'un and it’s a game that I like to go back to every now and then when I want to re-live parts of my youth…or when I want to beat enemies with a fart cloud left by an Englishman that looks like a blue demon.
